6 Things to Do With Your Photos

Posted on: June 17, 2019

Each time you walk by the picture of Fido’s graduation day at doggie training camp; Each time you walk by the picture of your engagement announcement; Each time you walk by the picture of you doing yoga on the beach, you’re reminded of an old memory. From graduation to your dog’s day at the park, your photographs capture what’s most important to you. Don’t relegate your memories to an old shoebox in the closet. Turn your pictures into a unique display that make your memories come to life.

Split Canvas PrintsTurn your photos into art installations by splitting them across multiple canvases. Shutterfly, Canvas Factory, and Canvas Champ all offer split canvas printing services. Your custom pictures create a personalized piece of art when you make them larger than life, and visitors will love getting to see your memories!

CoastersYour mom was right — you really do need coasters on your coffee table. So why settle for plain wood ones, when you can personalize them to you and your family? Walgreens, Shutterfly, and Walmart all offer photo printing services that include coasters. If DIY is more your style, all you’ll need is a sponge brush, some mod podge, acrylic sealer, felt pads, and white tile to make your own!

Instagram In Real LifeLooking at your Instagram feed is always satisfying. The perfectly square pictures all line up, giving you a quick glimpse of your life. With just a frame, floral wire, and some photographs, you can make your own Instagram picture display!

JewelryYour pictures are a reminder of what means most to you, so why not carry those memories with you? Turn your favorite pictures into a mini photo pendant with just a jumbo popsicle stick, a drill, some mod podge, glaze, and 2×2 print outs of your photos!

MagnetsYou’ll never run out of magnets when you DIY your own! Shutterfly, Walgreens, and Walmart are a quick and easy way to turn your memories into magnets. If you want to DIY, just grab some adhesive magnet paper, photo paper, and a paper trimmer! Print your favorite memories onto the photo paper, and stick them to the adhesive magnet paper.

VaseNothing makes a more personalized gift than a mason jar picture vase. All you need is a clean mason jar, some paint, a paintbrush, vinyl sticker, a picture, painter’s tape, and clear spray paint. These vases make great gifts, desk decorations, or house decor!
